Ep. 305 Day 11: After Divorce, New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work — Here’s What Does

If New Year’s resolutions have never worked for you...especially after divorce, it’s not because you lack discipline, motivation, or follow-through. It’s because the version of you who survived divorce is not wired to safely become the woman you’re trying to create. After divorce, most women try to change their lives by changing their behavior. But behavior never sticks when the nervous system doesn’t feel safe expanding. In this New Year’s Day episode, we break down why resolutions fail spec...

Ep. 304 Day 10: Why You’re So Hard on Yourself After Divorce (Especially on New Year’s Eve)

New Year’s Eve has a way of turning self-criticism up to full volume after divorce. The comparisons. The sense that you should be further along. The quiet question of what’s wrong with me that this still hurts? If you find yourself being unusually hard on yourself today, this episode isn’t here to tell you to “think positive” or try harder. It’s here to explain why this happens—and what your nervous system is actually doing when self-doubt takes over. In this episode, we talk about: Why divor...

303. Day 9: Divorce & the Holidays | Why Asking For Help Feels So Threatening

The holidays after divorce don’t hurt because you’re single. They hurt because they force you to confront how unsafe it feels to need support. In this Day 9 episode of 12 Days of Divorce Christmas, we talk about the hidden, hardest part of life after divorce—asking for help. Not logistically, but emotionally. Not politely, but vulnerably. If feeling safe, seen, and supported came naturally to you, this wouldn’t be the relationship you ended up in—and it wouldn’t be how it ended. So when the h...

Ep. 297 - Day 3: Going to the Holiday Party Alone After Divorce | How to Prepare Without Losing Yourself

Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas...also known as the 12 Days of Becoming Her Again. Today we’re talking about one of the hardest moments after divorce: going to the holiday party alone. The explaining. The questions you don’t want to answer. The way your body tightens when you walk into a room where you used to belong as part of a couple. For many women, this isn’t just social anxiety — it’s identity grief. You were someone’s wife. You had a role. You had...

Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas...also known as the 12 Days of Becoming Her Again. Today we’re talking about something no one prepares you for after divorce: when the house is too quiet. Not peaceful quiet. Not restful quiet.

291. Holiday Decision Fatigue After Divorce And The Hidden Reason You’re So Overwhelmed

If the holidays feel heavier this year—even the tiny decisions that shouldn’t take this much out of you—there’s a reason. After divorce, women carry an invisible load no one prepares us for. The planning, the negotiating, the managing, the remembering, the holding-it-all-together… it piles up until your body feels like it’s running on fumes. And that overwhelm you keep blaming on weakness or poor coping? It’s not that. It’s decision fatigue—and the version divorced women face during the holid...

Ep. 290 - Why Cord Cutting Doesn’t Work After Divorce (And the Practice That Actually Breaks the Nervous-System Grip)

Letting go after divorce isn’t about willpower. It’s about physiology. Your body won’t release someone until it feels anchored somewhere safer than the place it’s been clinging. And that’s why cord-cutting rituals, no-contact declarations, and “I’m done for real this time” moments almost never stick. In this guided premium episode, we’re not letting go into emptiness...we’re letting go into self-belonging, the only place your nervous system actually trusts. Inside this practice, you’ll experi...
